'Aiming' forstudentopinionr:_ypU~SSJILin ~so~ots~===:1 by Karen Siegl
''In your opinion, do you believe the Reagan Administration's anti-terrorism policy has been effective? Yes or no and explain why?" If you have been asked this question recently, then you have participated in an opinion-television-survey-show about curr.ent political issues. , The program, "Take Aim," (Alternative Information Magazine), is sponsored by the history/political science departments in conjunction with ~he English and communicationdepartment It is a bi-weekly, half-hour show, presented in two 12-minute segments. The idea for the program originated after Cabrini's participation in the Christian Science Monitor's videoconforence last year. "It all stemmed from the Cristian Science Monitor with the idea of keeping current events alive,'' Dr. Jolyon Girard, chairperson, history/political science department, said. Girard said he was interested in involvingstudents and faculty in political issues. "Both departments agreed to get involved both behind and on camera," he said. The production of the show incorporates the use of students under the direction of seniors, Mark Murray, Chris Corcoran and Brian Feeley. Catherine Yungmann, lecturer, English and communications department, is the executive producer. "Production is handled by the production class," Murray said. "The first show is under the direction of myself, Brian Feeley and Cliris Corcoran. We handle the entire show as if it is the real production." Dr. Jerome Zurek, chairperson, English and commu• nications department, believes it gives students the opportunity to control a variety of procedures involved with this type of program. '"l'he current events shows are- a pat of the production course," Zurek said. "They give students a chance to plan all aspects from set design through recording and editing." In addition to the students, the faculty are also involved. Aside from Yungmann, Girard and Zurek, Dr. Carter Craigie, professor, English and communications department, al-so participates in the program through .'-'coaching." "We act as coaches and I thought that was great," Craigie said. "In the next stage, Yungmann wants us on tape, and use the English and communications students as interviewers." '
The on-caµiera talent will probably involve four student panelists and one host. 1\vo pre-selected students from the history department will answer questions from two journalism students in the communications department. "Dr. Girard is selecting who wants to answer questions while Dr. Crai~ie selects what journalists will pose questions,'' Murray said. "We select some of the top juniors and seniors in the department who we thought would be interested," Girard said.
'Fallshowswill be a chanceto work out all the bugs. Spring showswill be offeredto cable T.V. companies.' -Dr. JeromeZurek,chairperson, Englishand communications "I picked my advisee~," Craigie said. "Those wer.e the majors I knew best plus those who had class with me. I wanted to get freshmen involved as soon as possible." The first show on terrorism was taped on Nov. 11atl p.m. The shows are scheduled for three productions a semester. The topics of discussion for the fall semester are terrorism, world hunger and nuclear dis-armament. Girard said all of the topics have been selected through joint group planning. The future of ''Take Aim" may depend on its success within the school and the student body. "I would like to see it become a regular part of school," Girard said. "Currently, we have to be flexible. If it works we'll continue. If not, then we have to re-evaluate." Murray said that the response received next semester will determine where the show will go. "The show not only forms opinions, but also, 'informed' student opinions," Craigie said. "My goal is to have students talk easily about the issues internationally." There is a possibility of the proram's being marketed to cable T.V companies. "Fall shows will be a chance to work out all the bugs," Zurek said. "Spring shows will be offered to cable T.V. companies." If the show goes to a cable company, Murray hoP.,esto get guest speakers from Villanova to participate. "Students benefit from involvement, learning and experience," Girard said. "Cable is a secondary thing." "The more involved, the more fun it'll be," Craigie said. "It would be neat to see it go to cable and see people's response."

Menofferopposingviewof daterape by Debbie Murphy
Kelly met Tim at a frat party. He was attractive and seemed well-mannered and mature; so when he asked her if he could walk her back to her dorm at the end of the night, she didn't object. They took their time returning home and talked along the way. Later, when Tim kissed Kelly outside of her dorm room, she didn't resist. He kissed her again. When he tried for more, she said po,.but he didn't stop. He forced Kelly into her dorm room where, amidcrierofprotest and pain, he raped her. As with most accounts bf date rape, few would deny that the female is the victim i.n this story. The question of responsibility, however, is far more complex. Was-Tim,who used his superior-strength and power for his own gain despite Kelly's protests, responsible for what happened? Or was KelJy,who left a party with a guy she did not know and who led him into the seclusion of her dorm, responsible for the rape? According to Dr. M.L. Corbin Sicoli, coordinator, psychological services, both parties are equally responsible in the instance of date rape. "Both men and women need to accept some responsibilfty for date rape,'' she said. "Men need to be conscious of their power and realize that just because they have the power to perform aggressive sexual acts, doesn't mean they should use that power," Sicoli said.
"Women must also be very clear about what they, themselves, are doing," she said. "They have to realize that we're living in a double-standard culture. Men pick up signals that women might not be sending." "That means women shouldn't go to parties where they don't know anyone and get blitzed. and they shouldn't pick up guys and take them l:>ackto their apartments," she said. "Women have to be very careful." Attitudes concerning the issue of date rape and the responsibility of those involved vary greatly among male and female students.
'When a girl says 'no/ she mightmean 'maybe'so you try and convinceher otherwise.It'sa challenge.' -Jeff Cooke,senior
Depending on the circumstances of the rape, and taking into consideration such factors as the reputations of the persons involved and the use or disuse of alcohol or drugs, males believe women are responsi• ble to some extent, in all instances of date rape.
"I think date rape is all the girl's fault. It's always the girl's responsibility to set the stage. If they don't want to do anything, they should let a guy know right away," senior, male, said. "If a girl lets a guy go three-quarters of the way,"he said, "and then says stop, I can see a guysaying to hell with it." "Though I think date rape is a shared responsibility, girls can get pretty seductive and lead guys_on to where a guy is ready for anything," Allen Lindley, sophomore, said. "Objecting at that point is kind of after the fact." · According to Linda Slack of Delaware County Women Against Rape, "In any instance of rape, date rape or not, the men do not feel like the rape is their fault. They · really believe women enjoy that kind of sex, even if she's crying and objecting,'' she said. "Even the courts, which are run primarily by men, see women as guilty," she said. "There have been no convictions on date rape in Delaware County. The courts believe that if women put themselves in risky situations, then they are just as guilty as men." In many instances, men justify date rape by claiming that women "lead men on'' and "say no but don't really mean it." "Some girls don't want you to think their loose, so they say 'no' when they might really mean 'maybe' or 'yes,"' Paul Engel, senior, said. "When a girl says 'no,' she might mean 'maybe' so you try and convince her otherwise. It's a challenge," Jeff Coolce, senior, said.
Slack, however, does not agree.• "When a women says 'no' she means 'no' and she has the right to object right up to the llloment of intercourse_,'' she said. "Unfortunately, men think women use 'yes' and 'no' to mean the same thing."
'No matter how much a girl leadsa guy on or how far he gets with her,nothinggives him the rightto rape her.' -Maura McCavera,senior
Female students nearly always see men as completely reponsible, regardless of the circumstances, in all instances of date rape. "Men who rape have no respect for women. They couldn't if they keep trying to please themselves even after a woman objects," Cara O'Donnell, senior, said. "No matter how much a girl leads a.guy on or how far he gets with her, nothing gives him the right to rape her," Maura McCavera, senior, said. ' . "Ultimately, if a man forces sex on. a woman, he is wrong. Rape is not justifiable under any circumstances,'' senior, female said. '

Rape not justifiable Whafs the matter bud, under any circumstance ain't you heard of our .--~.-----------~ school? f
Unlawful sexual intercourse without the consen~ of both partners is known to us as rape. However,too many women are unaware of how prevalent date rape is in our society .. Date rape is not justifiable under any circumstances. It is totally wrong, no matter what the situation is. Men must learn to have more control over their desires and must learn to have respect for women. They should never take advantage of their size over women. Women become intimidated by a man's power. Women, on the other hand, rpust take more responsibility upori.themselves and learn to be more aware of a situation that they may find themselves in. Too many times a woman will send a signal to a man and he will translate it differently then it was expected to be read.
Men must learnto have more controlof their desires and must learnto have respecttowardwomen. Womenbecomeintimidatedby a mans power. Men can be deceiving as well with their signals. Time after time, men will 'innocently' ask a woman to go for a walk, offer them a ride home, or just to step aside for a good-night kiss. However, a woman must realize that not all men are innocent and that she might get hurt - physically and mentally. What does it take for a man to realize that 'no' means precisely that? It is believed that both parties are responsible in the instance of date rape. However, we feel that most of this repulsive act is that of the man's. Men are physically more powerful than womel'l and they prove to be more persistant. Many times women will find themselves in a risky situation yet they will not acknowledge it until it is much too late and they will find themselves in a position where they cannot get out of. The bottom line is that women must become more conscious of the society in which they ar~ living in. Things are not going to become any better and women have to become _mindful. r
1,e&i'
"Cabrini? Where's that?" ·"It's dow~ the road from Villanova." How many times have you had that conversation? I recently had the opportunity to meet people from other schools all across the country, and most of them did not know where Cabrini was. Those who did know however, always made the same comment: "Oh, Cabrini, that's an all-girls school. right?" Alright, so we're not as well known as such schools as Villanova, Georgetown. or Penn State; so our entire school is smaller than just one of their classes, so what? Visiting Penn State was like being in another world. Their athletic field is bigger than our entire campus. There are fraternity houses and students everywhere. I don't think I saw anyone over the age of 30 the whole time I was there.
I was constantly comparing Penn, State with Cabrini until I finally realized how unfair that was. Cabrini cannot be compared with such an immense sc~ool. This however does not inean it i-snot as good as Penn State, or any other large university. For its size, Cabrini is a cut- above most comparable-sized schools. When most people hear how small the college is, they automatically assume we
kate welsh have nothing going for us. This is when I hl.art my bragging. I start quoting figures that prove them wrong. I pull out the 12-page Loquitur and explain to them that it comes out every week ta feat that many larger schools cannot even accomplish l. I tell them hQw friendly students and teachers at Cabrini are and how much easier it is to learn and become active in a small, personable school. By the time I am finished, they never ask, "Cabrini, where's that?" again. Most of us came to Cabrini because it is so small. ltis"fm"that reason that I cringe when I hear people lie and say they go to Vil1anova, rather than trying to explain where Cabrini is. - We should not be ashamed because we go _toCabrini. We should be proud of the education and learning we are receiving here. And the next time someone.asks, "Cabrini? Where's that?", we should answer, "Villanova's down the road from us. "

Sabbaticalleave:
Outstanding senior by Kathleen McCabe "When I do something I do it full force, there is no questi(\n about commitment," Lisa Nolan, senior, said. Nolan, a secondary education major, is a resident assistant, president of the campus ministry association, a tutor in the CARe center, a peer minister, an orientation counselor and an active member of Kappa Sigma Omega to name just a few. In addition, she has received many prestlgiou·s awards, honors and scholarships. Her academic honors include Del fa Epsilon Sigml}., Theta Alpha Kappa, Sigma Beta, Dean's list every semester and a member of the Cabrini Honor Society. She is a recipient of the Lindback Award for outstanding academics-, personality, service and dedication and also of the Cabrini Academic Scholarship.
"I learned so much from their culture_," Nolan said. ''It was one fantastic experience." While in Arizona, she gave a presentation at Brigham Young University on working with the Indians and the Logo Computer Language. She has also ·been involved in Cabrini's project Appalachia, where she helped the poor and taught Sunday school. "It was amazing that they had nothing and were thankful for everything," she said. "They taught me that material things are not what matters." Youmight wonder how she has time to do all these things. "It seems the more I do, the more quality time I have to put into things," Nolan said. ''I guess I've learned to manage my time better." Even though she is very busy, she still takes time out for her family. As she proudly shows-off her family portrait, she said, "They're more than just my family, they're my friends· also." Being the. middle child in a family of eight, Nolan feels that she was never an' "extreme." · "I .was never the smartest child or the most athletic or creative," she said, "so J tookcomfort in the little differences I could _ make, like a smile or a sympathetic ear. Ifl could touch just one person's life, that would be enough for me." She has touched.many of the lives of her friends, teachers, iµid co-workers. _ •'When I hear the name, Lisa Nolan, I can't help but smile and feel warm inside," Beverly Reilly, director, campus ministery, said. "Lisa's big heart really reaches out with love and concern for others in all that ·she does. Working with Lisa in campus ministry has been like having my own private. rainbow." "No matter who she's with, they're always macle to feel that tµey have a special place in her heart and they do," Joe Giuffre, senior, said. "She gives a unique kind of attention·to everyone." Graduation will be a difficult time for· Nolan, but she feels that it's time to move on.
Takingthe timeto revive by Rachel Athelia Anderson Some students have a false idea of what a sabbatical really is. Some feel it is ultimately a paid vacation, another teacher benefit in addition to summer vacation. Anthony Tomasco, associate professor, psychology, agrees that some people might think that sabbaticals are paid vacations. "I think it's difficult for people who do not teach to understand how hard tea<;hing really is," Tomasco said. "Going to class day after day, hour after hour, takes its toll." According to Tomasco, he enjoys teaching very mueh, but it is very stressful. He thinks teachers should relieve themselves of this stress through taking a sabbatical. Tomasco's sabbatical, which he finally took after sixteen years of teaching, was spent doing work for his dissertation. , · -Tomasco explained that although he enjoyed his sabbatical, he said that it wasn't a vacation. He spent half his time in Temple's library or at its computer center. Dr. Sharon Schwarze, professor, philosophy, was also extremely busy during her sabbatical. She worked on two articles for a book she feels very strongly abo_ut.Also, Schwarze did in-depth researching of intellectual property. According to Robert McGee, associate professor, math, a sabbatical should give the teacher an opportunity to "go where the spirit moves you." In his opinion, a sabbatical should be spent doing ultimately what the teacher wants to do. "I believe that if a person wants to go out and sit on top of a mountain and. study yoga, they should be able to do that," McGee said. "I don't think it matters what you do." Tomasco, on the other hand, thinks the best kind of sabbatical i's the "kind where you leave the area and go somewhere and do research." Accordin'g to Dr. Joseph Romano, vice president, academic affairs, sabbaticals provide all full-time faculty members with an opportunity to do things for their- "professional development." In order to insure this development, a proposal statement outlining what a faculty member is planning to accomplish on his or her sabbatical must be included in any application requesting a sabbatical. According to the faculty handbook, "at the end of the sabbatical, an account or report of activities s~ould be given to the President."
Schwarze thinks that faculty members should have to document what they do. "They should have some kind of monitoring of what professors accomplish on sabbaticals," she said. Lisa Nolan, senior (photo by Michele Some of the professors agree that not only do they benefit from sabbaticals, but the Pasquarello) institution does as well.

Professorbrings experiences to classroom ■
·by Kate Welsh Dr. Sharon Schwarze, professor, philosophy, spent two weeks of this past summer in the hospital. No, she was not a patient there, but rather an observer. Schwarze attended a conference for humanists at the Meaical College of Pennsylvania, in Germantown. Most of those participating in the twoweek program were philosophers which, ,according to Schwarze, is not unusual. •"Most hospitals use humanists as consultants and ethical advisors," she said. Schwarze's main interest lies in access to l)ealth care. "How do we distribute health care? How does the ability to pay affect the quality of care a patient receives? It's a question of justice," Schwarie said. During her two weeks at MCP, Schwarze experienced all aspects of hospital life. Spending one day in the operating room, she observed a bladder and kidney being removed from a woman who had cancer. "We were standing in pools of blood," she said.
'Whentheycutintothe body, therewereallsortsof odors. I anticipated blood,butnot the odors.' -Dr. SharonSchwarze, professor, philosophy
Schwarze said she didn't mind watching an operation. "Actually, it's just a funny looking picture. I didn't associate the face with the body," she said.
-
Schwarze also witnessed an autopsy. "This was much more obviously a person;" she said. "When they cut into the body, there wer~ all sorts of odors. I anticipated , blood but not the odors."
While in the ho~pital, Schwarze not only spent time with the patients, but' with doctors and supervisors as well. She was then able to receive answers to many of her questions. Her first question was the quality of medical care those patients receive who have no insurance and can't pay their bill. From her observations, she found that the ability; or lack of, to pay does not affect the care those patients receive.

BillMarimow:
PultizerPrizewinner lecturesat Cabrini by Christy Mason Bill Marimow, recently appointed editor of the Neighbors section in the Philadelphia Inquirer and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner spoke to an assembly of Cabrini students and faculty on Thurs. Nov.13. Marimow discussed the difficult judgment calls that all reporters and editors m1tst make regarding what are and are not pertinent issues in a story. ·
He also cited what he believes to be the components of good reporting including procedure, sources, use of public records, interviews, ·experience and confidence.
Marimow, who was born in Philadelphia in 1947 and is a 1965 graduate of nearby Havertown High School, is the only journalist ever to win two Pulitzer Prizes in separate categories. In 1978 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service on an article dealing with police violence in Philadelphia.
In 1985, he won the Pulitzer for Investigative Reporting for the "K-9'' story which dealt with some Philadelphia police officer's improper use of police dogs in apprehending a suspect.
We werestandingin pools of blood.' -Dr.Sharon Schwarze, professor, philosophy
"Doctors do everything they can to prolong life. However, people have unrealistic views of what medicine can do for them. Medicine can't cure everything," Schwarze said. Another question Schwarze raised was the "tremendous expense put into the last week of life," Schwarze said. "There's ethical questions raised here. One halfofthe resources in life that are spent on you are spent in your last week. Hospit;&ls spend their resources as well as society's resources." These and other questions will be discussed in the medical ethics class, being offered by Schwarze next semester. The class will examine access to health care, how medical resources are distributed, patient autonomy, and other related issues. Schwarze also hopes to have people in the field come in and talk to the class. She feels that her two weeks at MCP will aid her in teaching the class. "It gave me a realistic picture of what goes on in a hospital," Schwarze said. "In some ways, it <working in a hospital) was depressing. I hate hospitals. I've always found them intimidating. However, I wanted to do this. It was good experience for me. It helped make me better teacher" Schwarze id. ·

Dinnerbridgesgap Howold is old?· betweenyoungand old by Anne Fahy
by Donna Dougherty
It was a night for students and grandparents to adopt each other and share ideas, aspirations and generations. The third annual Juniors for Seniors dinner/danoe, sponsored by the social work club, was held on Friday, Nov. 14. in the cafeteria. Student opinion was very enthusiastic about tlieir adop~ed grandparents. "It was interesting to listen to them talk about how things were when they were {)ur age, the styles, the things they did, and even their goals in life,., Cathy Seidenglanz, senior, said. "When they were young, their goals were to be a secretary, a homemaker, or a waitress," she said. "I don't have any grandparents of my own, so I decided to do this," AnnieGleavy; junior, said. "It's fantastic that they do things like this to get them (the seniors) out for an enjoyable evening," she said.
'I love being with young people.Cabrini-sa lovely school.' -Frances Casper,senior citizen
According to Peterson, the Junior for Seniors dinner/dance was initiated three years ago with the purpose to get students to understand that older people are stiU active. During the first year of the special:°dinner/dance, the Main Line Senior Center sent 20 people and Cabrini provided the students. The next year, attendance· increased to 30 due in part to the senidrs from the previous year raving about the night to the other's at the home. Forty-five "seniors" attended with the average age being 82 years young. The seniors passed the night away by dancing with their adopted grandchildren, talkin&, to tlie other seniors and students, exchanging phone numbers and addresses, and laughing. "Tliis is my first year, and I'd like to come back next year if they have it," Peg Clery, Wessex House, said. ''The whole party was arra_nged beautifully." "I love being with young people," Frances Casper, Wayne senior citizens, said, "Cabrini's a lovely school." Door prizes were also given out: writing paper, bubble.. bath, a tie, men's cologne, and a silk plant.
The gray haired man in front of you driving 2_5mph in a 45 mph zone, is he old? A real "geezer"? , What makes something "old?" Is it a chronological method of measurement, or is it a state of mind? Thomas Edison's thoughts express some insight il)to this question. "I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred," Edison said. We might all agree that some things are definitely "old." Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond was definitely old. The things you find under your bed are usually old. But how does one draw the line to determine something that is old, bothersome and useless, and something that is old, but is respected, valued and has distinction, like an expensive wine. The reality is that most ofus are going to grow old_.One cannot turn back the hands of the biologioal clock. But, as we age, ifwe keep our lives productive and our minds active, are we still "old?" "To know how to grow old is the master-work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in tl)e great art of li:ving." ' -Amiel, 1874
'I know some 21-year-oldsthat seem old because they have no zest for life.'_ -Jean Whyte, senior When Cabrini students think of the word "old," what images come to mind? Bingo? Casino bus trips? "Gray hair, wrinkles, and a back that starts to hunch," Ann Marie De Curtis, freshman, said. Joel Zazyciny, sophomore,.said, ''Old is what you maKe it; it's in one's own mind. My Grandmother is 78 and 'my Grandfather is 87, and they're very young." Zazyczny and his f~iend, Bruce Kidwell, sophomore, claim_,to~w stud_ents on campus who are "old. ' "There are students who are so precise, so regimented and set in their ways," Zazyczny said," that they seem 'old."' · Jean Whyte, senior, agreed. "I know some 21-year-olds that seem old because they have no zest for life," she said. Most students do not consider their parents or professors o]d,1butmore experienced in life. As many said, they are "up on the times"; they are not "old." . Frances Skinner, employee, Seilers FoodService, does not consider herself old. She thinks the word is equated with negative feelings and bygone ideas_ "I think of all the students as my friencls, especially Ron and Rob Bellopetle," she said. And so it seems, that old is an attitude more so than a classification of age. If the "old" adage, "with age comes wisdom" is true, then we can all look forward to the future and know that we'll be brilliant.
Unionsweakenedby tarnishedimage by John Dunleavy
Is there still a place for labor unions in America today? This is the question that has been raised repeatedly in the 80's by employers, workers, and consumers alike. Opinion polls show that most people support unions for others, not themselves. The reason for contradiction; experts say, is organized labor's tarnished image.

· · Gleavy continued, "I used to work at a s.enior citizens home and I love ·working with them. I think they're great people. They have a lot to teach us and I think they · should be able to show it." · "At first I wasn't sure ifl wanted to sponsor a grandparent, but I ended up having a great'time," Angie Corbo, freshman, said. "My grandparents were terrific and I learned a lot from their experiences that they shared with me," she said.
"It amazed me that they were all super," Samantha Tomasula, freshman, said. "No matter who you talked with, they were just so interesting," she said.
'It wasinterestingto listento them talk about how things werewhen they were our age, the style, the things they did, and even their goals in life.' -Cathy Seidenglanz,senior Cabrini also gave a "Cabrini cares" button<to each senior.
"They can just k~ep teaching you a lot · "I think it went well. I think the seniors about life and living," Lisa Nolan, senior, loved it," Dot Montague, senior, social work said. "They give you insight into life's dub president, said. secrets," she said. "They;re so interested in youth and what you'e doing and it's so special that you can have a relationship with a grandpar-ent," she said.
"The be,st thing for them was that they were with students who enjoy them and they get a sense that somebody is tpere for them;'' Peterson said.
According to Sr. Regina Peterson, M.S.C., moderator, social work club, 100 percent -0f the proceeds go back to the senior centers in Delaware Oounty.
From the amount of hugs and kisses that went around at the end of the night, it is obvious that the "seniors" will always be able to find grandchildren at Cabrini.

One of the first well-1mown unions, the Knights of Labor, was organized in 1869. At the time, unions were established to protect the rights of the workers with the onset of technological progress, the development of factories, and a subsequent rise in industry. Today,however, the number of manufacturing jobs are decreasing while service jobs are multiplying. Because service industries have· no tradition of union activity, it's often hard to persuade service workers to join unions. This fact, along with the U.S. recent changes in their political position, have had 'a profound impact on unions. In 1981, President Reagan fired 1!,500 air traffic controllers when their union went on strike against the U.S. government. "This sent a powerful message to unions and the nation as a whole," David \Veil, a labor expert at Harvard· University, said. ''The message was, not only do we not have to make concessions with the unions, we do not have to deal with unions at al. This has been very djsruptive," he said. Many union backers blame the media for the union's shaky image. "In general, the media perpetuate stereotypes about the labor movement and focus on the negative," Douglas Fraser, former head of the United Automobile Workers, said.
In fact, according to"a1984 Harris poll, most Americans still recognize the need for unions. Eighty-one percent believe workers pave the right to form unions. Another 88 percent say that unions encourage the governtnent to respond to human needs, and two out of three Americans believe that unions keep employers from hiring and firing unfairly. Union workers earn, on average, $1.33 for every dollar non- union workers earn in similar jobs. "Unions are paying higher wages to their workers who are no more qualified than non-union members," Paul Engel, senior, said. · Audrey Freedman, labor economist said, "People think the prices are high because of high union costs." Egel tends to agree. "Unions have helpedworkers to an extent, but they've inflated consumer costs because of greed." When asked what he thought of unions, Chuck Couwels, sophomore, said, "They're alright for benefits, but if you don't do your "Any time there's corruption in the job, no matter what the union promises, if unions, and these times are few and far management wants you fired, you'll get between, the whole labor movement gets fired." painted with this broad brush," he said. Commenting on the status of unions today, Couwels· said, '"Unions are weakenMany students are ignorant about the ing because so many unemployed people subject of labor unions. Mary -Beth Vendare taken off the streets and come in will- itti, senior, expressed the viewpoint of ing to work for less. Look at the air traffic many students when she said, "After all controllers.

Each costume is appropriate for each member of the-cast. The sets, too, are well done. Although one part, however, illustrated as a plot of grass and flowers, seemed imposing in its nichE! near the front of the stage. In spite of this, the audience, which consisted of children betwe~n the ages of two and 10, enjoyed the play. Indeed, the youngsters were engrossed in the story.

As presented by the Cabrini College Theater, this drama has a life of its own, much like the lead character. In her depiction of. the play's namesake, Ruth Santoni, continuing education student, smoothly adapts to the variety of emotions and physical movements required of her character, Puss.

This collection of live music has been described as "phenomenal." "outstanding," and "overwhelming," and so have its sales. According to Brian Hawkins, manager, Sam Goody,Philadelphia location, their sales have been incredible. "I can't think of anything that's happened like this before," Hawkins said.

However Saturday, Nov.15, the state thawed to a pleasant 40 degrees, just in time for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Cross Country Championships. There to represent Cabrini were eight runners. Cabrini provided the transportation, but the task of tackling the course was left solely up to the tean1The men's team was represented by juniors Pete Casazza, John Donahue, and Mike Edmo_ndson, sophomores Dean· Magalon and Paul Magalon, and freshmen Mike Dolan and Mike Feeley. The Cavaliers placed 30th out of 41 teams. The two top finishers for Cabrini were Magalon <Dean) who placed 175tli, (26:50) and Casazza, who placed 191st (26:56). Dolan placed 207th (27:04), Magalon (Paull, 224th (27:16), Donahue, 292nd (28:29),. Feeley, 340th (30:20), and' Edmondson, 349th (30:20). Maureen Murray, senior, women's cross country, -also qualified for Nationals. Murray was plagued with injury towards the end of the season, but that did not stop her from being invited to the championships. Murray had suffered from strained ligaments and the injury persisted in Wisconsin, forcing Coach Beverly Reilly to sit her · for fear of further injury. "It was strange watching the other girls run_ I should have been there running with them," Murray said. For some, Nationals provided a new experience while others knew what to expect. "Going into the Wisconsin meet, I had no idea of what to expect. Nationals was the largest cross country meet I have been in," Feeley said. "This was my second Nationals, and I knew what to expect," Magalon, (Paul) said. "There would be about 300 people in the race and that meant that going out fast would be the key to finishing well" As well as achieving personal satisfaction and pride, team members think they have proven their ability. "It was easy to get lost in-the shuffle, but when it was all over I feel as though my performance, and more importantly the team's performance, was very respectable." Feeley said. "This meet was a highlight of the season. We.proved that we could r-un with the best," Magalon said. "Looking back on the season, we proved to District 19 and the nation that Cabrini has a sound cross country program," Feeley said. "I feel that the entire season is just an indicator of the strength and potential that the cross country program has for the future," Casazza saia.

John Dzik:;
Strivingfor excellence, respectforathletics S-ince he came to Cabrini_six years ago, in 1980, Dzik held the positions of part-time director of men's athletics, men's basketball coach, and director of admissions. Upon his arrival at Cabrini, under the leadership of Dr. Joseph Romari_o,vice president of academic affairs, Dzik's main task was to build a men's athletic program that would identify the school as co-ed and relieve the image of an all-wor· en's college. As a part-time athletics director and men's basketball coach, Dzik's only concentration was in building a well-respected men's athletic program. Now, with his new position, Dzik inherited the women's athletic program, _withwhich he has never been involved in his six years at Cabrini. ·"I've been here for six years and it is difficult to now be accepted by the women's program," D~ik said. "I have to prove to them that they have my support." "The women's teams are strong but need some improvements to be representative of Cabrini College's athletic program," Dzik said. At the start of his first year as director of athletics, Dzik had a hectic schedule which lead him into a rough transition. In mid-September, Dzik still had some responsibility as the director of admissions. He was also coach of the men's basketball team, and had 1 additional responsibilities in his new position. "I was basically g-0ing crazy," Dzik said. "John has been asked to assume many diverse activities during these opening months of the academic year," Jim Fitzsimmons, dean of students, said. "John has met these requests with leadership and efficiency surpassing the level of the college's expectations," Fitzsimmons said. Despite the frenzy of his transition of positions and responsibilities, D;i;ik monitored the progress of the 1986 fall season teams and aided them in the prob~ms that arose.
by Stephanie Giardini He can be seen in the playing field and on the courts ofCnbrini College supporting the Cavalier's efforts. He can also be seen coaching the men's ~asketball team to victory, or helping.athletes reach their goals. He is John Dzik, director of athletics. This fall, Diik accepted the.full responiiibility of the athletics department by becoming tiie director of athl~tics."I believe academics com(s fin;t and athletics second," Dzik said. ''.Athletics is an extension of the school and what the institution stands for.'' Dzik is a firm beiiever in academics. He is a 1972 graduate of West Chester State University with'a degree in elementary education. He taught for four years. . Now, Dzik is working on furthering his education. Here at Cabrini, Dzik is taking his mas,t.er'scourses in education. When or how long it takes to get his master's degree does not matter to him. He wants to take the courses when he can work them into.his schedule. Dzik, in his days before Cabrini, was always interested in sports, and in coaching in particular. ·· He played baseball and basketball for Sharon Hill High School, which Dzik jokingly said, "Doesn't, exist any longer." Coaching is what Dzik enjoys the most. He began coaching at the age of 18. He bas coached on all levels including intramurals, boy's club, semi-professional, high school and college. ''Coaching and teaching are the same," Dzik said. "The setting is different, but the principles are the same." Dzik always had the goal of entering the position of full- time director of athletics. "I am happy for the opportunity," Dzik said. "I know there is an awful lot of work to be done and a long way for us to grow, and to help pave the way is a new _challenge." Many of Cabrini's athletes have much respect and admiration for the new director of athletjcs.. This is evidellt in the comments of sol]le of these athletes. Rocco Sansone, sophomore, member of the men's basketball team, said, "He (Dzikl is straight forward. He tells you where' you stand with him. He has done a very good job and always has his goals in order." · "He really supports you any way he can," Lori Albertus, junior, member of the women's basketball team, said. "We had a basketbal1 party and he (Ozik) took the time to chaperon it." . "He is an individual who realizes his professional level and knows when, where, and how"to maintain it," Fredia Gibbs; senior, member of the women's basketball team, said. "He's exceedingly concerned and interested in his student-athletes' progress both on and off the court.
In the situation of the firing of the soccer coach, Dzik was also faced with aiding the soccer team. "My concern was for the soccer players, the soccer program's progress and the parents of the players," Dzik said. "The situation was deteriorating, I had no other choice than to take action," Dzik said. "I explained the situation to Jim Fitzsimmons and he concurred that it was a wise move." · Despite the problems which occurred during the fall season, Dzik believes that it ran successfully. He credits much of the success to the coaches. · "I am pleased with the very successful past fall season," Diiksaicl. "I believe that I will be much better prepared as they (fall teams) return next fall." "My go11lis to have a positive effect on my coaches," Dzik said. Dzik's plans begin with a written guideline, which goes hand-in-hand with the college's ·academic guideline, for his coaches to follow in dealing with each of their respective teams. It is difficult to keep up with all the coaches because they are part-time, but Dzik plans to meet this goal completely. "I will observe all the teams and all the coaches and monitor their progress to meet the demands of my goals," Dzik said. ln his athletic program's guideline, Dzik plans to have a clearly stated philosophy of the athletics program at Cabrini. Dz.ik describes this philosophy as a statement of tlte declaration of coaching and the unity coaches should have in striving for the best with regards to the athletes and the school. Another plan Dzik has in progress is evaluation forms for the coaches, as well as forms evaluating the coaches for the athletes. These forms are similar to those that the stud€nts fill out about their instructors.' Dzik also has some possible ideas for new sports teams at Cabrini. For the spring, he is in the planning stages for a co- ed golf team. His main concern for this is findin~ somewhere for the team to play. Another idea Dzik has is to begin a women's soccer club. The likeliness of this club turning into a women's soccer team depends upon the success of the one to two year trial basis. For the spring of 1988, the department may start a ,men's and women's lacrosse team, once again depending on the success of a self-sustaining club. "I wish I was a freshman again," Charlie Dodds, senior, said. "Between Dzik and Fitzsimmons working together, the athletic department will be very good."
